I watched The King on Netflix with Timothee Chalamet and I wasnt exactly impressed.

If we're basing our Dune opinions on The King then Robert Pattison should play Feyd.

I am also concerned that the Jodorowsky Dune documentary has set impossible expectations, (also, did anyone grab the film rights for The Incal?)

They already made The Fifth Element.

I wouldn't mind that, but I think it's somewhat important that Feyd be at least in the same generation as Paul. He's a twisted mirror to Paul, the embodiment of why the system has to burn down; its inevitable final champion. If he's too much older I don't think that hits as hard.

Tom Holland as Feyd

This. Nothing has topped it in 25 years. It has exactly the right tonal balance for a video game movie. Detective Pikachu was fine, but it's a kids movie and doesn't aspire to be anything more than that. I'm assuming Sonic is in the same vein.

Zimmer dropped out of scoring Tenet because Dune is a dream job for him so I'm expecting this to be some effort at the very least.

Denis has mentioned that dune caught his attention as a kid because of the french paperback cover



It seems like he's playing with a lot of eye imagery (the round sandworm mouths) as well as like circular voids (again the sandworm, the planet being a pit-like trap for the Atreides, Paul being in that place where the BG dare not go staring back at them). Maybe it's a stretch but that seems to be a motif that gels with the story

2049 had a ton of eye imagery too, although it was building off of the original.

A live Dune stunt show event where edibles are distributed beforehand would be cool as gently caress. And they can insert in character music/conversations in it for the ecological/world building stuff.



I went to a drive in screening of Fury Road this summer that included actors and acrobats in costume performing in coordination with the movie and it was pretty fun (edibles were also involved).

Early screenings suggest the running time is 2 hr 15min which is surprisingly short. I think WB wanted to avoid another BR2049 situation.

I don’t know why it’s a foregone conclusion that Dune won’t get a sequel. I’m not especially bullish on it but it seems perfectly possibly that theaters rebound by release day, it gets a huge marketing push and meets their expectations. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed or even the most likely outcome but studios have bankrolled plenty of sequels for less.

Wouldn't it make more financial sense to film it all at once? They already have a complete story to work off of (no idea if the second script is finished though), all the sets are built and preproduction finished, and they were already on location with all the actors there. Maybe Villeneuve wanted Chalamet to age naturally to fit the time jump in the book?

I found Denise during Season Two to be a broadly sympathetic character, but absolutely is played for laughs at several points, and I can't imagine they actually consulted with any people who are trans when creating or writing the character. I also don't think Lynch actually wrote or directed any of the significant Season Two Denise episodes, though I'm not sure what hand he played in creating her, if any.

Lynch does certainly seem to be either disinterested or disturbed by homosexual male characters though. The most significant male gay-coded character I can think of is Ben from Blue Velvet, whose sexuality seems to be used to disorient the audience and little more.

One take I've read on Denise is that the character is treated with some light humor by most of the other characters in the show with the exception of Agent Cooper who is totally cool with it and never (intentionally) misgenders her which is about as good a take on trans people you could get in the early 90s. In Season 3 Lynch kind or awkwardly pats himself on the back for being progressive (in character as Cole) when Duchovny makes a brief cameo. But he says "change your hearts or die" which is a good line.

That's ridiculous if true.

I saw one report that Tye Sheridan was temporarily listed before it was quickly removed from IMDB. I've seen other speculation that they are trying to keep it under tight wraps. With Sting playing him in one rendition.....and Mick Jagger supposedly set to play him in the 70's Jodorowski version.....that they want it to be a surprise.

I've heard in reports from people who have screenings that Feyd is not in the movie

I can't find an exact quote but apparently Villeneuve has said that Feyd, lovely Feyd, would be in the sequel.

And Dune's current box office receipts are higher than anticipated so maybe that sequel might actually happen!

Saw this in a late opening night show in IMAX and the theatre was considerably more packed than it was for a similar showing of No Time to Die so I'm surprised the film is tracking to make less than that, but I hope word of mouth for it is good.

This is an excellent watch if you want to get in to Villeneuve's thought processes:

Yeah, I have to assume that there's a not-insignificant savings in keeping a production together rather than letting all the parts dissipate and have to be re-assembled

If you take Denis at his word, filming 2 at the same time would have drained and broken him so he's grateful he only had to focus on one.

I remember the fight scenes in Casino Royale as great, but I guess that was pre-Wick and Daniel Craig was younger (did he even do any of the fights himself though?)

Daniel Craig broke THE BEAST RABBAN's nose in a fight scene and was constantly injuring himself doing stunts so I would assume so.

I'll be honest even in my rereading I'm not doing a very good job of recalling descriptions of ethnicity, I can vaguely recall someone was described as having epicanthic folds but not who. Teenage me assuming Duncan Idaho is probably wrenching on a Chevy Nova somewhere in the Artreides compound is not supported in the text.

Herbert doesn't explicitly say what race someone is but I think it's Yueh who has the epicanthic folds. I believe Idaho is described as having dark or black hair at least.

Thank you! I watched it about a dozen times and was mesmerized by the spices. I also appreciate flavoring the oil with cilantro and celery.

Also holy poo poo this is a derail, to get it back on track I watched Jodorowsky's Dune last night. Dude literally tried to get Dali to play Emperor Corrino.

The best part of the thing was seeing H.R Giger talk about it, he made 5 presentations for the Harkonnen castle and this is my favorite:



It was interesting to see that the Harkonnen designs in DUNC had a clear Giger influence too.
